Who says magic has to be expensive?
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of Paradox’s first birthday celebration—a brand experience we pulled off with just $1,300, a backyard, and a wildly creative vision. From sardine martinis (yes, really) to handmade keepsakes inspired by the fortune fish 🐟, this wasn’t just a party—it was a portal.
Inside the episode, I’m sharing:
- how numerology guided the theme for Paradox Year One
- the power of crafting experiences that feel aligned—even on a budget
- why whimsy + strategy is the ultimate brand combo
- the art of making the ordinary unforgettable
- and the universal truths I’m taking with me into year two
This isn’t just about throwing a party. It’s about showing your audience (and yourself) what your brand really stands for. Resourcefulness. Storytelling. Audacity. Soul.
✨ Whether you're planning an event, launching something new, or just want to feel inspired to create with what you’ve got—this one’s for you.
